Limits worth knowing in Kanri

  • Desktop only: downloads are offered for Windows, macOS and Linux, with no mobile or web version.
  • There is no cloud sync or collaboration, and the FAQ says the data file's location cannot be changed yet, so boards cannot be placed in a synced folder.
  • The app is not code-signed, so the operating system may flag it as unsafe; Apple Silicon Mac users may need to run a Terminal command if macOS reports the app as broken.
  • The README says the project is still in active development, is provided as is, and that users should make regular backups.
